Development and design

Both ponies feature unique hair designs and some unique clothing. Upper Crust is seen in all her appearances wearing a white shirt and pink sweater draped on her back with the sleeves knotted at the front of her neck, along with earrings and a necklace. Jet Set has a green shirt and white sweater draped in the same manner as his wife's, and wears glasses. Jet Set's green and white attire is the exact shade used by the New York Jets football team.

Depiction in the series

In Sweet and Elite, the two approach Rarity in Canterlot and inquire about her hat, with Jet Set mentioning that the pair are married. When they learn that Rarity is from Ponyville, they leave in apparent disgust, calling her hat "country".

After Rarity enters the garden party, Upper Crust walks over to her, and is at first kinder to her, but soon goes back to disliking her. She starts talking with Fancy Pants, and continues to do so in different areas of the party while Rarity hurries between the birthday party and garden party. When the rest of Rarity's friends go out into the garden party, both Upper Crust and Jet Set ask her about them. When Twilight mistakenly shows her up, Rarity accidentally spits punch in the couple's faces, leaving them shocked.

When Rarity is revealed to be from Ponyville, they are part of the group that forms around her, and smile when she seems to be choosing them over her friends. After she chooses her friends, the two laugh at her, but change their minds after Fancy Pants says he finds the Ponyville ponies 'charmingly rustic'.

Both Upper Crust and Jet Set ask to place orders from Rarity after Fancy Pants approves her, but she runs over to Fancy Pants, causing the two to bang heads.
